POSTPONED! We anticipate this to be a popular class, and have decided to move it to the fall. Look for more information about this class, which will be offered during Oasis Community Wednesdays. VPC is still exploring a possible summer class, more details to follow.
Even though life gets wild, God is good. Roar is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-fun Gizmos, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call “God Sightings.”
